Award-winning, durable metal LC connectors
These test reference cords and launch fibers with LC connectors feature a unique metal latch design. Traditional LC connectors use a single-piece plastic design that flexes the latching mechanism each time the connector is inserted and removed and eventually breaks, making them unsuitable for repeated use in testing. This metal LC latching system uses a multi-piece metal design with a spring located between the latch and connector body. Since this latch is not part of the body and does not flex, the life of the latching mechanism is greatly improved, thereby extending the life of the LC connector and therefore the TRC's and launch cords.
This metal LC connector is compliant with IEC 61754-20 and TIA-604-10B intermateability standards. That latch has also been tested for up to 10,000 insertions with no degradation in performance and passes all Telecordia GR-326-CORE durability tests including thermal, humidity, vibration, flex, impact, and salt spray. While the connector itself is the most rugged available, the glass fiber endface is still susceptible to damage, so it’s important to inspect the endface to make sure it’s contaminant-free and to properly clean it if necessary.
